Our Technology

Precision. Speed. Scale.
LynxCare’s proprietary clinical NLP uses healthcare-trained pipelines to process unstructured clinical text and extract, contextualize, and normalize medical entities (e.g. diagnoses, symptoms, procedures, medications, outcomes), complementing structured data from EHRs. Outputs are mapped to standard terminologies and integrated into the OMOP Common Data Model. The pipeline includes quality controls and validation steps, enabling reproducible, high-quality real-world data suitable for large-scale analytics and regulatory-grade research.

Our Team & Mission

Founded in 2015, LynxCare has grown from an ambitious Belgian start-up into a fast-growing European scale-up with over 30 dedicated professionals. We accelerate clinical research and real-world evidence generation at leading health systems across Europe.

What began as a shared vision to unlock the full potential of healthcare data has evolved into a clear mission: to foster research and innovation by enabling hospitals and life sciences organizations to leverage high-quality clinical insights, preparing them for the future of data-driven healthcare. Through our work, we actively contribute to building the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and other European initiatives that promote secure, interoperable, and ethical use of health data (EHDEN, OHDSI).

Our multidisciplinary team — combining expertise in data science, healthcare, informatics, and artificial intelligence — works side by side with hospitals, researchers, and life sciences partners to transform how clinical data is accessed and leveraged to improve patient care and advance medical research.

Enriched Insights

Unlocking the full value of hospital data goes beyond structured fields. Much of the patient journey — from side effects to outcomes — lives in unstructured clinical notes. With cNLP, LynxCare enriches datasets to unlock deeper, more accurate insights.

Clinical NLP Features

Small, Purpose-Built Models

We use small, domain-specific models, not general-purpose LLMs.
Focus on clinical relevance rather than just scale — without compromising explainability or control.
        

What this means in practice (compared to large LLMs)
  • Higher precision & accuracy for clinically nuanced concepts
  • Faster processing and lower infrastructure requirements
  • Streamlined validation, maintenance, and governance

Auto-retraining approach

Our models are built to be continuously auto-retrained using new and improved annotations and validations, updated terminology, and site-specific language.
       

What this means in practice
  • End delivery with guaranteed accuracy without adding months to the delivery project timeline through automation
  • Improved model performance as more data becomes available
  • No need to rebuild pipelines when clinical practice or language changes

Validation-Driven by Clinical Experts
Human-in-the-loop

High-quality NLP starts with high-quality validations.
Set-up designed to support clinician-validated, study-specific labeling, ensuring extracted data reflects real-world clinical meaning.
       

What this means in practice
  • Configurability at the site level
  • Expert-reviewed training data
  • Direct feedback loop between annotators, clinicians, researchers, and models

Transparent & Auditable NLP

Our NLP is designed for full transparency, no black-box predictions.
Enabling clinical validation, regulatory confidence, and reproducible research across institutions.
       

What this means in practice
  • 100% traceability from structured variable to source sentence
  • Audit-ready outputs aligned with regulatory and EHDS expectations
  • Continuously retrainable models

Flexible Deployment: Cloud or On-Prem

The platform is fully deployable in the cloud, on-premise, or in hybrid setups, ensuring compliance with hospital IT policies, data residency requirements, and security standards.
       

What this means in practice
  • Alignment with hospital security and governance frameworks
  • Scalable deployments from pilot to international programs

Built for Research-Grade Data

NLP outputs are structured, standardised, and quality-controlled to support RWE studies, multi-center research, and regulatory-grade analytics, including mapping to common data models such as OMOP.
       

What this means in practice
  • Harmonised datasets across sites and countries
  • Integrated data quality controls
  • Faster time from raw text to analysis-ready databases

From Raw Notes to OMOP-CDM

Our powerful yet efficient language models automatically standardize raw clinical notes into the OMOP CDM format, enriching existing structured data and making it instantly ready for research and validation.

Data Quality at the Core

LynxCare’s Sentinel is a robust, OMOP Common Data Model-based system designed to continuously measure, benchmark, and improve EHR-derived datasets for regulatory compliance, collaborative studies, and translational research.

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our data solutions and services.

What does LynxCare's federated approach mean?

A federated approach means data remains at the source hospital under their control. Analysis queries are sent to multiple hospitals, each processes the query locally on their data, and only aggregated results (not patient-level data) are shared back, ensuring privacy and compliance.

How does LynxCare's technology work?

We deploy a secure local gateway at hospitals that extracts data from Electronic Health Records and other hospital information systems. Our AI and clinical NLP then processes both structured and unstructured data (including narrative clinical notes) and harmonizes it into OMOP Common Data Model format. Request a demo for more info.

How does LynxCare assure data quality?

5 quality insurance checks from intake to insight (completeness, accuracy, clinical validation, medical review, benchmark match). Read more about Sentinel in our Knowledge Center and on our Blog.
